Beschreibung
One of the main features of the world economy since the late 19th century has been the growing dominance of the American economy in both quantitative and qualitative terms. This book provides the first comprehensive yet compact survey of the growth of American economic influence in Europe since the 1880s. It identifies three distinct but cumulative waves of Americanization, summarizing the ongoing discussion by business historians, sociologists, and political scientists in a highly accessible way.

From the reviews:
"America’s enormous influence on the European economy in the 20th century is a commonplace, but historians and economists have lacked a good synthesis on economic Americanization. … this ambitious study fills the gap and makes a very welcome contribution. … Wide-ranging, imaginative and remarkably evenhanded, this excellent interdisciplinary study will appeal to many social scientists. Summing Up: Essential. A must for faculty and researchers and highly recommended for advanced undergraduates." (J. P. McKay, CHOICE, March, 2006)
